How to measure and fit The Zebedee Any Angle Hanging Rail
Loft Bedroom storage doesn’t have to be difficult, big and bulky and a waste of space. Zebedee rails fully utilise that sloping eaves area with little fuss and are easy to fit.
Fun fact – there is less gravitational pull on a sloping Zebedee Hanging Rail than a horizontal rail of equal length. Also, our bespoke brackets are designed to push against, and fully support the Zebedee, meaning less weight is on the screws which are fitted into the slope at an angle, so coupled with their panhead design, makes them extremely secure!
Sometimes we get returns saying ceiling isn’t strong enough to take the weight, and of course we don’t mind returns at all, but unless it is a lime and lath plaster 200 year old cottage ceiling, (and even then I’m sure there is a solution) it isn’t as difficult as you imagine to fit a Zebedee Rail.
Below are some fitting solutions by our customers and also a reel fitting demonstration by Free Bird Interiors. Our measuring and fitting instructions are also available to download prior to purchase.

One option is to fit a baton to the ceiling first, (a bit like fitting a curtain rail) either straight into the beam behind the plaster board, or by using plaster board plugs every 10″ or so to share the weight. The Zebedee Rails can then be fitted straight to that very simply!
Bridge two loft beams with a wider, decorative piece of wood, like fitting a wardrobe top, and then you can centralise the fitting of your Zebedee’s.
Or
Easily top fix into any sloping wardrobe!
Then sit back and enjoy your beautifully organised, fully utilised space!
